This survey of state legislators updates and expands the 1995 Carey, Niemi, and Powell survey, STATE LEGISLATIVE SURVEY AND CONTEXTUAL DATA, 1995: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 3021), which asked many of the same questions. Questionnaires were mailed to all 7,430 state legislators (50 states, 99 chambers) in February 2002, with follow-up letters in March and May of the same year. State legislators were surveyed on the importance of various factors in learning how to do their job, the importance of various sources of information available to them, whether they had authored any bills that became law during their most recent term, whether they specialized in single policy areas, and how much time they spent on legislative duties and tasks. Opinions were sought on the relative influence of party leaders and staff, among others, in determining legislative outcomes, and how much attention party leaders should give to various duties. Additional questions asked whether respondents followed their conscience or the wishes of their constituency when making decisions, the political views of their constituency, and which groups they considered to be their strongest supporters. Information was also collected on opposition candidates, vote percentages, campaign expenditures, previously held public and appointed offices, and future political aspirations. Demographic information includes sex, race, household income, religious preference, political party affiliation, and political philosophy.

21st Century Americanism
[electronic resource]Nationally Representative Survey of the United States Population, 2004

The 21st Century Americanism survey was conducted to study (1) the multidimensional nature of American identity ("Americanism"); (2) resentment among Whites toward immigrants, Latinos, and Asians, fueled by perceptions that these groups violate the cherished norms that constitute American identity ("symbolic nativism"); (3) how perceptions of discrimination affect the process of "becoming American" among ethnic minorities ("reactive ethnicity"); and (4) the relationships among these issues and public opinion on policies that address ethnic change. The data collection began in July 2004 and was completed by October 2004. This nationally representative random-digit dial telephone survey has 2,800 respondents and includes oversamples of Blacks, Latinos, and Asians in the United States. It contains questions that allow for the examination of the causes and consequences of two facets of American identity: (1) how people define the normative content of American identity ("identity content"); and (2) the extent to which people think of themselves primarily as American rather than primarily as a member of a pan-ethnic (i.e., Latino or Asian) or national origin group ("identity attachment"). The survey can be used to test hypotheses regarding whether the alleged traditional consensus on what it means to be American is breaking down, or whether people are increasingly rejecting an American identity and instead prioritizing pan-ethnic or national origin identities. It can also be used to examine how these aspects of one's identity affect political attitudes and behaviors, such as trust in government, voting, and one's sense of obligation to the national community. Demographic variables include gender, age, country of origin, United States citizenship status, race, Hispanic origin, and language and educational attainment. Variables focusing on economic characteristics include employment status and household income.

location, activities, who they were with, and psychological
states. Several Likert and semantic-differential scales were used to
assess participants' psychological states.
The
Parent Data
contains basic demographic
information from respondents as well as detailed information about
parents' occupation job duties, income, work schedule, benefits (e.g.,
medical care, flexible work schedules, and family leave), and the
consequences of their jobs (e.g. long hours, job stress, having to
work weekends). Additionally, the data contain information about the
extent to which parents experienced work-family conflict and what
changes might help with better balance of the demands of work and
family (e.g., more flexible work hours, more help from spouses with
household and child care responsibilities, improved child care, and
after-school care arrangements). Parental attitudes toward traditional
arrangements, how household tasks were actually divided among family
members, and how often the family paid for services (e.g., cleaning,
yard work, meal preparation) were also captured. The data also contain
information about how children are socialized in families with two
working parents. Topics about the frequency with which parents engaged
in various activities with their children (e.g., talking, eating meals
together, attending religious services), how frequently parents
monitored their teenager's activities, and how often they talked with
their teenager about school activities, plans for college, career
plans, friendships, and peer pressure.
The
Adolescent Data
contains data for sixth through
twelfth graders, which focuses on family relationships and
experiences, school experiences, paid work, psychological well-being
and behavioral problems, and plans for the future (e.g., college,
career, and marriage -- including expectations regarding spouses'
sharing of responsibility for child care, cooking, chores, and paid
work). To allow for comparison of parents' and adolescents' responses
to similar questions, several items appear in both the adolescent and
parent data. These items include the frequency with which parents and
adolescents discuss school events, college and career plans,
participation in religious and other activities, gender role attitudes
and the division of household tasks within the family, and items
measuring depression, stress, and anxiety.
Qualitative Data -- Interviews
The main
purpose of the interviews was to explore topics addressed in the
parent and adolescent surveys in greater detail. Parent interviews
were designed to examine how working parents cope with the demands of
work and family life. Adolescent interviews touched on similar themes
but altered questions to gauge the adolescent's perceptions of their
parents work and family lives. Kindergartner interviews were brief and
focused on children's after-school and child care arrangements and
time spent with parents.

This special topic poll, conducted April 30 to May 6, 1996, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. This poll sought Americans' views on the most important problems facing the United States, their local communities and their own families. Respondents rated the public schools, crime, and drug problems at the national and local levels, their level of optimism about their own future and that of the country, and the reasons they felt that way. Respondents were asked whether they were better off financially than their parents were at their age, whether they expected their own children to be better off financially than they were, and whether the American Dream was still possible for most people. Respondents then compared their expectations about life to their actual experiences in areas such as job security, financial earnings, employment benefits, job opportunities, health care benefits, retirement savings, and leisure time. A series of questions asked whether the United States was in a long-term economic and moral decline, whether the country's main problems were caused more by a lack of economic opportunity or a lack of morality, and whether the United States was still the best country in the world. Additional topics covered immigration policy and the extent to which respondents trusted the federal, state, and local governments. Demographic variables included respondents' sex, age, race, education level, marital status, household income, political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration and participation history, labor union membership, the presence of children in the household, whether these children attended a public school, and the employment status of respondents and their spouses.

The Afrobarometer project was designed to assess attitudes
toward democracy, markets, and civil society in several sub-Saharan
African nations, and to track the evolution of such attitudes in those
nations over time. This particular survey was concerned with the
attitudes and opinions of the citizens of South Africa. Respondents
gave their opinions of the performance of South Africa's President
Thabo Mbeki and elected officials in local and national government, the
government's handling of issues such as crime and the economy, the
most important issues facing the nation, and whether the country was
heading in the right direction. A series of questions addressed
respondents' living conditions, the economic conditions and political
influence of their own ethnic group compared to other groups in the
country, and whether they felt more attached to their national
identity or their ethnic group. Views were sought on the past,
present, and future of economic conditions in the country, economic
policies and reform, political parties, income inequality, civil
rights, equal rights for women, and whether laws were enforced
equally. Respondents rated their level of trust in the government,
military, courts, the media, and others, the level of corruption
existing in these groups, the ease of obtaining assistance with
securing documents and government services, the methods by which
respondents did so, and how often in the past year respondents had
paid a bribe to a government official. Other questions asked about
respondents' interest in public affairs, their level of civic
engagement, and their satisfaction with the way democracy and
elections worked in South Africa. Respondents were quizzed on their
knowledge of government officials, presidential term limits, and
government policy, and gave their interpretation of the concept of
democracy. Additional questions asked about media sources of
information, respondents' ownership of consumer goods such as books
and automobiles, their physical and mental health status, and whether
any close friends or relatives had died of AIDS. Information was also
collected on the presence of institutions, public utilities, and
soliders in the area. Demographic variables include sex, age, race,
ethnicity, education level, language, employment status, occupation,
voter registration status and participation history, political party
affiliation, religious preference, religious participation, and type
of residential area (e.g., urban, rural, etc.).

For this survey, respondents from three counties in the Detroit, Michigan, area were queried about their health, satisfaction with their health care, end of life decisions, policies about life and death decisions, and experiences with life and death decisions. The first set of questions asked respondents to rate their own health and to indicate whether they had seen a health care professional in the past five years as well as what type of health professional they had seen. They were also asked whether or not they trust the health care provider's judgment on medical decisions and whether they felt that a doctor or family members would follow the respondent's instructions for life sustaining procedures. The survey also explored how satisfied respondents were with the amount of time they spent with their doctor and the doctor's response to questions as well as their honesty and concern for their patient. Additional questions asked respondents how concerned HMO's are with costs and patient health and what their opinions were on how much money is spent on medical technology and care for terminally ill patients. Another set of questions sought respondent's opinions on terminating a patient's life support in a variety of different situations, including the treatment of critically ill infants. The survey also asked whether respondents or their family had ever experienced an end-of-life decision, whether they have discussed end-of-life decisions, and what types of methods they would consider. Respondents were also asked about their attitudes on the death penalty, abortion in certain situations, physician assisted suicide and the 1998 proposal to legalize physician assisted suicide. Background information includes marital status, employment, political orientation, and income.

the household by advanced students from Beijing University. Major
topics addressed include perceived seriousness of problems such as
health care, pricing, public order, industrial development, economic
well-being, consumer behavior, personal problems and how to overcome
them, perceived local problems, views about leaders and important
groups, political interest, media behavior, civic competence and
political reform, and perceptions of injustice. Demographic variables
include sex, age, ethnicity, education level, occupation, marital
status, military service, household income, political party
affiliation, age and number of children, and the number of people in
the household.

The Gambling Impact and Behavior Study investigates the
gambling behavior and attitudes of adults and youth in America, and
also estimates the effects of gambling facilities on a variety of
local economic and social indicators. Respondents were randomly
selected by a national random-digit dial (RDD) through a stratified
design by state lottery status and distances to major casino. The
study includes three independent, unlinkable data files. The adult and
youth questionnaire (Parts 1 and 2) covered areas such as demographic
information, geographic region, gambling behavior and attitudes,
motivations for gambling, gambling history, a problem-gambling
diagnostic assessment, gambling treatment experience, family/marital
status and issues, income and financial information, criminal
activity, mental and general health, and substance use. Areas of
substance abuse examined were the use of alcohol, marijuana, hashish,
cocaine, crack, methamphetamine, stimulants, tranquilizers,
amphetamines, and speed. The Community Database (Part 3) included the
following: geographic locators (latitude, longitude), availability of
gaming facilities, gaming spending estimates, employment patterns by
industry, unemployment, bankruptcy, personal income, private and
public earnings, government expenditures, income maintenance/AFDC, and
vital statistics.

The 1955 Growth of American Families survey was the first in a series of surveys (later becoming the National Fertility Survey) that measured women's attitudes on various topics related to fertility and family planning. The sample was composed of 2,713 married women aged 18-39 living in the United States. The survey included the following main subjects: residence history, marital history, education, income, occupation and employment, religiosity, family background, attitude toward contraception, contraception use, pregnancies and births, fecundity, opinions on childbearing and rearing, and fertility expectations. Respondents were asked questions pertaining to their residence history, including if they owned or rented their home, and if they lived on a farm. A series of questions also dealt with the respondents' marital history, including when they first married and the month and year of subsequent marriages. Respondents were also asked to describe the level of education they had attained and that of their husbands. Respondents were also asked to give information with respect to income, both individual and household, and if their financial situation was better now compared to five years ago. Respondents were queried on their occupation, specifically on what exactly they did and in what kind of business. Similar questions were asked about their husbands' occupations. Also, they were asked what their reasons were for working. The survey sought information about the respondents' religious affiliation and with what frequency they attended church. Respondents were asked how many brothers and sisters they had as well as their attitude about the number of siblings in their household. Also included was a series of questions regarding the respondents' attitudes toward family planning. Respondents were asked if they and their husband thought it was acceptable for couples to use contraceptives to limit the size of their family. They were also queried about what specific methods of contraception they had used in the past, and after which pregnancy they started using a particular method. Respondents were asked whether they or their husband had had surgery to make them sterile and if there was any other reason to believe that they could not have children. Respondents were also asked if they thought raising a family was easier or harder now than when they were a child. Respondents were also asked what they believed was the ideal number of children for the average American family and what the ideal number of children would be, if at age 45, they could start their married life over. Other questions addressed how many children respondents expected to have before their family was completed and their reason for not wanting more or less than that number.

Since 1982, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe has sponsored a cross-national, school-based study of health-related attitudes and behaviors of young people. These studies, generally known as Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC), are based on independent national surveys of school-aged children in as many as 30 participating countries. The HBSC studies were conducted every four years since the 1985-1986 school year. The data available here are from the results of the United States survey conducted during the 2001-2002 school year. The study results can be used as stand-alone data, or to compare with the other countries involved in the international HBSC. The HBSC study has two main objectives. The first objective is to monitor health-risk behaviors and attitudes in youth over time to provide background data and to identify targets for health promotion initiatives. The second objective is to provide researchers with relevant information in order to understand and explain the development of health attitudes and behaviors through early adolescence. The study contains variables dealing with many types of drugs such as tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, inhalants, and any other substances. The study examines the first time these substances were used and the frequency of their use. Other topics include questions about the person's health and other health behaviors. Some of these topics include eating habits, body image, health problems, family make-up, personal injuries, bullying, fighting, and bringing weapons to school. A school administrator and the lead health education teacher also completed individual surveys concerning school programs and policies that affect students' health and the content of various health courses.

The Latino National Survey (LNS) contains 8,634 completed
interviews (unweighted) of self-identified Latino/Hispanic residents
of the United States. Interviewing began on November 17, 2005, and
continued through August 4, 2006. The survey instrument contained
approximately 165 distinct items ranging from demographic descriptions
to political attitudes and policy preferences, as well as a variety of
social indicators and experiences. All interviewers were bilingual,
English and Spanish. Respondents were greeted in both languages and
were immediately offered the opportunity to interview in either
language. Interviewers also provided a consent script that allowed
respondents to opt out of the survey. Demographic variables include
age, ancestry, birthplace, education level, ethnicity, marital status,
military service, number of people in the household, number of
children under the age of 18 living in the household, political party
affiliation, political ideology, religiosity, religious preference,
race, and sex.

The Longitudinal Study of Generations (LSOG), initiated in
1971, began as a survey of intergenerational relations among 300
three-generation California families with grandparents (then in their
sixties), middle-aged parents (then in their early forties), and
grandchildren (then aged 15 to 26). The study broadened in 1991 and now
includes a fourth generation, the great-grandchildren of these same
families. The LSOG, with a fully elaborated generation-sequential
design, allows comparisons of sets of aging parents and children at the
same stage of life but during different historical periods. These
comparisons make possible the investigation of the effects of social
change on inter-generational solidarity or conflict across 35 years and
four generations, as well as the effects of social change on the ability of
families to buffer stressful life transitions (e.g., aging, divorce and
remarriage, higher female labor force participation, changes in work and
the economy, and possible weakening of family norms of obligation), and
the effects of social change on the transmission of values, resources,
and behaviors across generations. The study also examines how
intergenerational relationships influence individuals' well-being as
they transition across the life course from early, to middle, to late
adulthood. The LSOG contains information on family structure, household
composition, affectual solidarity and conflict, values, attitudes,
behaviors, role importance, marital relationships, health and fitness,
mental health and well-being, caregiving, leisure activities, and life
events and concerns. Demographic variables include age, sex, income,
employment status, marital status, socioeconomic history, education,
religion, ethnicity, and military service. With the addition of Wave 7, in 2000, this collection supercedes LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF GENERATIONS, 1971, 1985, 1988, 1991, 1994, 1997: [CALIFORNIA] (ICPSR 4076).

This survey of 12th-grade students is part of a series that
explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle
orientations of contemporary American youth. Students are randomly
assigned to complete one of six questionnaires, each with a different
subset of topical questions, but all containing a set of "core"
questions on demographics and drug use. There are about 1,400
variables across the questionnaires. Drugs covered by this survey
include tobacco, smokeless tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, hashish,
prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, LSD,
hallucinogens, amphetamines (stimulants), Ritalin (methylphenidate),
Quaaludes (methaqualone), barbiturates (tranquilizers), cocaine, crack
cocaine, GHB (gamma hydroxy butyrate), ecstasy, methamphetamine, and
heroin. Other items include attitudes toward religion, changing roles
for women, educational aspirations, self-esteem, exposure to drug
education, and violence and crime (both in and out of school).

Data from the National Couples Study (NCS) were collected as part of two NIH-funded studies examining couples' contraceptive decision-making (but not consistency of use). Completed interviews were obtained from both partners of 413 married couples, 261 cohabiting couples and 335 dating non-cohabiting heterosexual couples (2,018 individuals), where the female was age 20 to 35 years and the male was age 18 or older. Other eligibility criteria were that the female was not currently pregnant, postpartum, or trying to get pregnant, and that both partners were neither medically nor surgically sterile (for whom consistency of contraceptive use is of limited interest). The survey used computer-assisted self interviewing (CASI) to collect data from an area probability sample of household residents in four cities and their adjacent county subdivisions: Baltimore, MD; Durham, NC; St. Louis, MO; and Seattle, WA. This survey obtained separate, parallel reports from both partners, providing unique and detailed data on the power relations, birth desires, method-related expectancies, values, perceptions, preferences, and behaviors of men and women making contraceptive and disease prevention choices within the context of an intimate heterosexual relationship.

This data collection is an extract created from the
individual years of the National Crime Victimization Survey. Each
record contains information on a crime incident occurring in the given
calendar year. Part 1 contains all crime incidents, and data Part
2 contains the crimes of rape and attempted rape only. The National
Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), previously called the
National Crime Surveys (NCS), has been collecting data on personal and
household victimization through an ongoing survey of a
nationally-representative sample of residential addresses since
1973. The NCVS was designed with four primary objectives: (1) to
develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of
crime, (2) to estimate the number and types of crimes not reported to
the police, (3) to provide uniform measures of selected types of
crimes, and (4) to permit comparisons over time and types of
areas. The survey categorizes crimes as "personal" or "property."
Personal crimes include rape and sexual attack, robbery, aggravated
and simple assault, and purse-snatching/pocket-picking, while property
crimes include burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and
vandalism. Each respondent is asked a series of screen questions
designed to determine whether she or he was victimized during the
six-month period preceding the first day of the month of the
interview. A "household respondent" is also asked to report on crimes
against the household as a whole (e.g., burglary, motor vehicle
theft). The data include type of crime, month, time, and location of
the crime, relationship between victim and offender, characteristics
of the offender, self-protective actions taken by the victim during
the incident and results of those actions, consequences of the
victimization, type of property lost, whether the crime was reported
to police and reasons for reporting or not reporting, and offender use
of weapons, drugs, and alcohol. Basic demographic information such as
age, race, gender, and income is also collected, to enable analysis of
crime by various subpopulations.

The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), 1994-2008 [Public Use] is a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-1995 school year. The Add Health cohort has been followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent in 2008, when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents' social, economic, psychological and physical well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships, providing unique opportunities to study how social environments and behaviors in adolescence are linked to health and achievement outcomes in young adulthood.
Public use biomarker data has been added. The Glucose/HbA1c data file contains two measures of glucose homeostasis based on assays of the Wave IV dried blood spots: Glucose (mg/dl) and
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, %). Six additional constructed measures -- fasting duration, classification of fasting glucose, classification of non-fasting glucose, classification of HbA1c, diabetes medication, and a joint classification of glucose, HbA1c, self-reported history of diabetes, and anti-diabetic medication use -- are also included.
Public use Lipids biomarker data has been added. The Lipids data file contains measures of triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total-cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, self-reported antihyperlipidemic medication use, joint classification of self-reported history of hyperlipidemia and antihyperlipidemic medication use, fasting duration.
A restricted version of Add Health is available. See National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), 1994-2008, Restricted Data Series.

In 1995-1996, the MacArthur Midlife Research Network
carried out a national survey of 7,108 Americans aged 25 to 74
(NATIONAL SURVEY OF MIDLIFE DEVELOPMENT IN THE UNITED STATES (MIDUS),
1995-1996 [ICPSR 2760]). The purpose of the study was to investigate
the role of behavioral, psychological, and social factors in
understanding age-related differences in physical and mental
health. The study was innovative for its broad scientific scope, its
diverse samples (which included twins and the siblings of main sample
respondents), and its creative use of in-depth assessments in key
areas (e.g., daily stress and cognitive functioning). A description of
the study and findings from it are available at
http://www.midus.wisc.edu. With
support from the National Institute on Aging, a longitudinal follow-up
of the original MIDUS samples: core sample (N = 3,485), metropolitan
over-samples (N = 757), twins (N = 998 pairs), and siblings (N = 951),
was conducted in 2004-2006. Guiding hypotheses for it, at the most
general level, were that behavioral and psychosocial factors are
consequential for physical and mental health. MIDUS II respondents were
aged 35 to 86. Data collection largely repeated baseline assessments
(e.g., phone interview and extensive self-administered questionnaire),
with additional questions in selected areas (e.g., cognitive
functioning, optimism and coping, stressful life events, and
caregiving). To add refinements to MIDUS II, an African American sample
(N = 592) was recruited from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who participated in
a personal interview and completed a questionnaire paralleling the
above assessments. Also administered was a modified form of the mail
questionnaire, via telephone, to respondents who did not complete a
self-administered questionnaire.

Initially taken in 1838 to demonstrate the stability and significance of
the African American community and to forestall the abrogation of African American voting rights, the Quaker and Abolitionist census of African Americans was continued in 1847 and 1856 and present an invaluable view of the mid-nineteenth century African American population of Philadelphia. Although these censuses list only household heads, providing aggregate information for other household members, and exclude the substantial number of African Americans living in white households, they provide data not found in the federal population schedules. When combined with the information on African Americans taken from the four federal censuses, they offer researchers a richly detailed view of Philadelphia's African American community spanning some forty years.
The three censuses are not of equal inclusiveness or quality, however. The 1838 and 1847 enumerations cover only the "old" City of Philadelphia (river-to-river and from Vine to South Streets) and the immediate surrounding districts (Spring Garden, Northern Liberties, Southwark, Moyamensing, Kensington--1838, West Philadelphia--1847); the 1856 survey includes African Americans living throughout the newly enlarged city which, as today, conforms to the boundaries of Philadelphia County. In spite of this deficiency in areal coverage, the earlier censuses are superior historical documents. The 1838 and 1847 censuses contain data on a wide range of social and demographic variables describing the household indicating address, household size, occupation, whether members were born in Pennsylvania, status-at-birth, debts, taxes, number of children attending school, names of beneficial societies and churches (1838), property brought to Philadelphia from other states (1838), sex composition (1847), age structure (1847), literacy (1847), size of rooms and number of people per room (1847), and miscellaneous remarks (1847). While the 1856 census includes the household address and reports literacy, occupation, status-at-birth, and occasional passing remarks about individual households and their occupants, it excludes the other informational categories. Moreover, unlike the other two surveys, it lists the occupations of only higher status African Americans, excluding unskilled and semiskilled designations, and records the status-at-birth of adults only. Indeed, it even fails to provide data permitting the calculation of the size and age and sex structure of households.
Variables for each household head and his household include (differ
slightly by census year): name, sex, status-at-birth, occupation, wages,
real and personal property, literacy, education, religion, membership in
beneficial societies and temperance societies, taxes, rents, dwelling
size, address, slave or free birth.

The DC Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DC*MADS) was
conducted in 1991, and included special analyses of homeless and
transient populations and of women delivering live births in the DC
hospitals. DC*MADS was undertaken to assess the full extent of the
drug problem in one metropolitan area. The study was comprised of 16
separate studies that focused on different sub-groups, many of which
are typically not included or are underrepresented in household
surveys.
The Homeless and Transient Population
study examines the prevalence of illicit drug, alcohol, and tobacco
use among members of the homeless and transient population aged 12 and
older in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Statistical Area (DC
MSA). The sample frame included respondents from shelters, soup
kitchens and food banks, major cluster encampments, and literally
homeless people. Data from the questionnaires include history of
homelessness, living arrangements and population movement, tobacco,
drug, and alcohol use, consequences of use, treatment history, illegal
behavior and arrest, emergency room treatment and hospital stays,
physical and mental health, pregnancy, insurance, employment and
finances, and demographics. Drug specific data include age at first
use, route of administration, needle use, withdrawal symptoms,
polysubstance use, and perceived risk.
